To Be Held By a Statue: A Great Emporium

Teresa and Ghetto Mr. Hunter hang out with bronze figures in the outdoor sculpture, A Great Emporium, designed by Malcolm Kow and located along the Singapore River, close to the Asian Civilisations Museum.  

You can also see the sculpture, From Chettiars to Financiers, in the background.  These outdoor installations are part of the People of the River series.

Friends in Singapore

Teresa and Ghetto Mr. Hunter were on a business trip, and while they were in Singapore, the elegant Sharon showed them around.  Here they are enjoying the views from Mount Faber Park.

Introducing Ghetto Mr. Hunter

Teresa was getting ready to leave on a business trip to Singapore and Japan, and she asked me about taking a Flat Mr. Hunter along.  The only problem was that she was leaving the next day, and I wasn't in the office to provide her with an official Flat Mr. H.  

Our solution: I emailed Teresa the photo from which I made the original Flat Mr. Hunter, and she printed it out on a color printer, and then "laminated" him with some clear packing tape.  She dubbed this makeshift fellow "Ghetto Mr. Hunter."  Mr. Hunter was pleased about this new representative of the Hunter clan; he also appreciated how Ghetto Mr. Hunter's rectangular shape provided a slight variation on the usual Mr. Hunter look.

Here's Ghetto Mr. H's debut photograph.  
He's enjoying some refreshments at a cafe in Singapore's Arab Quarter while Teresa reads up on local tropical fruit.
